Here is a link to an article about the first manned fuel cell flight. It has been in the works for some time, and wonderful to see it coming to fruition: http://www.gizmag.com/first-manned-fuel-cell-plane-flight/9117/ For those who don't know, Boeing converted a Dimona motorglider to have an...

Does anyone have any experience in replacing the second O-ring in a triple source socket? I am not talking about the third small O-ring but the second O-ring which is the same as the first. Taking it out was not difficult but putting a new one in might be a different story. I thought there might be...

Anybody out there know who might have wound up with this plane? Lukasz Barowicz was in the listing, but he referred all inquiries to Joe Bennis. I made a deal with Joe Bennis and bought it. Then a few weeks later I got my money back along with a bit of B.S. about the seller deciding not to sell....

I had a utility program that I downloaded ( I think fro the camdridge site) that displays the nmea data received from a logger on the PDA for diagnostic purposes. I lost data on my computer, and with it this program. Does anyone have a copy or can anyone remember the name of the .exe file, so I...

Who is the hulk on this road bike ... somebody said he was once a pudgy sailplane racer who almost won the 15M Nats at Mifflin in an LS-6 one year. http://www.pgcsoaring.org/bike/4BRPN1-412.JPG KK

In the spirit of upcoming elections and in the finest traditions politics, I have a total flipflop/turnaround on one of my recently posted opinions. (though admittedly probably not as amusing as McCain announcing that he suddenly decided MLK Day is actually is a good idea after all, but I...

Browsing this group seems to indicate that the Wingmate is no longer built, so, I'm thinking of building one myself. I trust Chip won't be offended. If you have one, I'd be interested in learning what dimensions Chip used . i.e. Aluminium box section size and wall thickness, and length of each...

This message is for Paul Hanson and his posting about the reasons to NOT have surge brakes instead of electric brakes. Please post this to the group. Thanks! Phillip LaBerge ASW20

The trailer for the Cherokee has always been so-so. Its an old Gehrlein (sp?) that was probably purchased new when the glider was built in 1965. Its the EXACT same type of trailer that Glub Djerjinksi used for his Open Cirrus in the Sunship Games. its heavy, really long, and pretty old. I had...

We found a camera in Marfa while attending the Landmark of Soaring Dedication. Identify it and it is yours! Dick Mockler

Are there glider classifieds on rec.soaring yet/anymore? I have not been able to access them since the big meltdown, so if there is a new address for it, or any info I would appreciate being in the know, as I'm sure many others would (in case they are as lame as me and have not found it...

I'd also be curious if there was a task editing program, but that (in theory) can be done from the display... Thanks, Gary

Anybody know where to find the video of the Caproni takeoff mentioned in question 10 of the Clio's Wings column in the last issue of SOARING? Tom Idaho

You're invited to visit "Roger's Soaring Blog" at http://rogersoaring.blogspot.com. I've been writing it for about three years, but it includes my soaring journal all the way back to my first flights. Some of my posts contain lists of books, weather resources on the web, notes on equipment and...

I've managed to do minor damage to my new Cobra trailer already :( One of the clamshell latches snagged on something during ground maneuvering and pulled hard enough to pop the bottom rivet. Upon closer inspection, I found the factory used a bolt for the top, which held firm, but I cannot replace...

I replaced the RICO variometer that came with the G102 I bought a few years ago. I believe it still works, and I have a manual. I don't have the tubes and assorted flasks that came with it. If anyone wants it, it is free to a good home. All you need to do is pay shipping, which will probably be...

I have the original Comet trailer that came with my ASW-20A and the original gas struts on the trailer. Anyone know where to get replacement struts (the clamshell is sagging now) without having to take out a loan to buy new ones from Germany?
